Neoadjuvant Pazopanib: A Phase II Study to Evaluate the Effect on Disease Response and Recurrence and to Establish Predictive Biomarkers of Drug Activity in Renal Cell Carcinoma

Principal investigator

William Kim, MD

Description

The primary objective of this study is to determine the objective response rate Complete
Response + Partial Response(CR+PR) associated with neoadjuvant pazopanib at 8 weeks as
defined via RECIST1.1. The investigators will also estimate the recurrence free survival
(RFS), specifically the 1 and 2 year rates, with recurrence defined via RECIST1.1, and
characterize the safety issues. Finally, this study also includes a number of exploratory
analyses designed to evaluate potential correlations between RFS and; serum levels of
cytokine and angiogenesis factor (CAF).

A recombinant therapeutic agent which is chemically identical to or similar to endogenous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Produced by a wide variety of cell types, endogenous VEGF is a homodimeric, glycosylated protein that is a highly specifi

A family of molecules released from platelets (tiny pieces of cells that are found in the blood and that help the blood clot). Forms of PDGF help to heal wounds and to repair damage to blood vessel walls. They also help blood vessels grow.

A protein on the surface of some cells that binds to biologic substance called stem cell factor (SCF). SCF causes certain types of blood cells to grow. The stem cell factor receptor is found at high levels or in a changed form on some types of cancer cell
